Hi everyone, I have read alot of posts here and on CF trying to put together the "best" mods to my truck that I think fit my needs. Before I pull the trigger I want to run it by you and make sure I am headed in the right direction. My truck is a 2000 3500 Dually two wheel drive with an automatic tranny. It has 173,xxx miles on it. Previous owner put 65 horse injectors in it, plugged the wastegate, K&N air filter, 4 inch exhaust turbo back,and a new stock lift pump. I've read these trucks will go for 700,000 + and I'm going to have to try because I can't afford a newer model! Besides the occasional trip around town I put a 4K pound Lance 11'6" truck bed camper in the back and pull a tandem axle car trailer with my 69 Bronco rockcrawler on the back. I don't have a ton of coin to drop. I don't want to smoke the back wheels off the truck, hook up to a sled or smoke out three lanes of traffic when I blow by in the passing lane. (on occasion smoking out a ricer is nice I have to admit!) I essentially want a dependable, easy to maintain, Keep it simple, drive across country kinda rig. Here's what I plan: Install the fuel pressure gauge I bought Continue running the TCW 2 stroke oil (thanks moparman!)Install a Raptor 150 Vulcan big line kit to VP pumpRun Baldwin PF7977 fuel filter Put a boost elbow onGet my other gauges; pyro, tranny and boostPut some coolvue mirrors on so I can see what the heck is going on behind me Airbags in the rear BHAFAnd beef up the tranny, torque convertor, shift kit, whatever else needs to be done. Other than that I just want to be able to run it and fix the other "stuff" that we all know comes up. Like my leaky roof above the overhead monitor and the passenger window that sloooooooowly goes up. Thanks and looking forward to what you have to say.
